Mas de Daumas Gassac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1986

[Back label says 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, and then (in a burst of French mathematical genius), the remaining 30% (hey, that’s what the label actually says), Malbec, Merlot, Syra (their spelling), Canernet Franc, Pinot (unspecified which Pinot??), and Tannat] OK, not trying to goof on the winery or the importer (uh, KLWM!?!?), but weird math and unclear varietal composition is kinda just odd, at best, or just weird?!?!?’ Production was 75,000 bouteilles, 1,400 magnums, 100 jeroboams, and 25 mathusalems (their spelling, not mine)??!!
OK, first whiff, I could honestly care less what the actual grape cepage is, tons of garrigue, but at age 40 still quite fresh, most of the tannic structure has faded away, but this shows those awesome tertiary notes, along with clear bottle sweetness, which makes these older bottles so amazing and, frankly, compelling to drink!! Great southern French wine from the Pays de l’Herault, super long finish, WOW!!!

Wowza! Used to stock this in the store I managed in NYC. It was quite affordable back then.

@Tom Casagrande, I also have a 1989, 1990 and 1995 stood up, I used to buy these from KLWM back in the day (IIRC, they were sold as “6-pack cases”), I think starting with the 1982 through 1998 (or 1995). These wines are immortal from an aging perspective, so will start drinking them on and off.

Mas Cavalls Doña Margarita Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016

Our friend described this as forest floor. Did have wet forest smells along with mushrooms, dry blackberry and raspberry with a slight musty funk. Felt like this bottle was just a touch sweeter (not dessert wine sweet just that the dark fruit had fermented a bit more). Good wine. — 5 years ago

Cigalus Vin de Pays d'Oc White Blend 2020

A stunning blend of Chardonnay, Viognier and Sauvignon showcasing the best of each grape. Crisp acidity, gorgeous floral, peach aroma with elderflower, orange blossom, tangerine, Meyer lemon, green apple, ripe pear, chalk, flint, crushed fresh herbs (thyme and sage) and a hint of oaky vanilla. Great length and for all its opulence, is elegant with great finesse. — 4 years ago

Montlouis sparklers always seem to slap. The unicorn cartoon on the cage is a not so subtle hint of how this producer feel about this wine. At the price point, I feel the same! — 5 years ago
